A Turn of Events

Hi everyone! I've been wanting to write this for very long now, and finally got down to writing it! XD

This story starts right after Manny, Sid, Diego and Granny boards Gutt's ship. What if they stayed on with the pirates?

This is my first fanfic, don't be too harsh and please enjoy! :D

"As much as I'm tempted to join a monkey, Easter bunny, and a giant bag of pudding, I'll pass. Nothing will stop me from getting back to my family."
As Manny said that, Diego on the other hand, was thinking otherwise. It was because of her. He had not seem another saber for ages, and longed to spend time with another. Especially one who was so attractive, the moment he set his eyes on her... Something about her...

Thoughts were racing through Manny's mind. Should he stay on board Gutt's ship? If not, how would they escape? He just couldn't think straight.

"Wait!" Manny screamed.

The crew just looked at him, as Gutt smirked, knowing that he has new addition to his crew.

"So, joining us?" Gutt asked with an impatient tone. Manny just nodded.

Diego was so happy, just to be able to spend more time gazing at Shira's feminine and muscular body. He didn't mind spending several more days or even weeks away from the herd, just for her. His eyes focused on the saberess at a corner, until Squint had started untying him, which jolted him back into reality. "Understand?" Gutt impatiently asked. Diego just looked up and gave a slight nod.

Late at night, the ship jerked to a stop. Manny was first to feel it, and realized that they were at a shore foreign to him. He woke the rest of the herd up, and made their way off the ship.

All except for Diego, who had stopped next to Shira and gave her a lick on her muzzle.

Shira had realized what was happening and pulled away, leaving Diego all red and embarrassed.

Diego knew that Shira would definitely shout to wake everyone up, and instinctively he pressed her against the wall, restricting her wind pipe. She tried struggling but to no avail... "Shhhhh..." Was all Diego said, until he felt her body go limp, and her eyes closed once again...

Manny had realized what was happening and had signaled to Diego to leave quickly. "WHAT! WE CANT JUST LEAVE HER HERE?!" Diego whispered to Manny.

Manny just rolled his eyes and picked her up with his tusks and left the ship, with Diego.

"Care to explain why we need a saber to come along with us?" Manny grumbled "Well, if we ever get caught by Gutt, don't we need a hostage to stop him from attacking us?" Diego retorted.

"Why can't we use something smaller, like that Easter Bunny?" Diego was out of excuses. "Well, umm... He's... Not as attracti... "

He walked right into Sid, who had his eyes fixed on the sight before them. "No way..." Sid whimpered

"Yes, we're going in there", Manny started walking into the dark, menacing forest ahead of them. "At least that will keep us away from the pirates..."

They found a spot to camp for the night and by then, granny and Sid were dead tired, and fell asleep instantly.

"So what do we do with our prisoner?" Manny puts her down, and slumping down next to her.

"Just leave her to me..."

Diego secretly cuddles next to her after Manny falls asleep, and went in to slumber...

-Shira's POV-
I slowly opened up my eyes... Where was I? The first thing I was kissed by the golden furred saber and the next, what?! Why is he coming so close to me? Ugh... I'm stuck in between a mammoth... What? They still exist? I tried to unwind myself from the saber's grip, and as I thought I was free, I felt something force my body onto the ground.

-Third person-
"Where do you think you're going, kitty?" Diego smirked at her.
Shira just looked away, showing her disapproval.

"Woah... Hold it there Diego! It's not even mating season! Pinning down a female already?" Sid teased Diego.

As Diego looked back, he saw the rest of the herd looking at him. He got off and just then, Diego sensed the presence of the pirates... "They're coming... The pirates, they're coming!" Diego quickly holds Shira's neck in his mouth, but careful not to bite.

"Ah, we've found them, let's show them the punishment for escaping..." As Gutt and his crew sprang out from the bush, Manny tries his best to sound threatening "You won't want to see a dead crew member, now would you?"

"Go ahead! Take Shira's life. I didn't need her anyway. She's a waste of space on board anyway."

Shira was at a lost of words. She put her full trust into Gutt, and that is what she gets in return?

However, she felt faint again, as she felt something piercing her neck.

Manny got ready to fight, along with Diego who has released his grip from Shira and the sloths.

"Let's dance, Manny." Gutt smirked.

End of chapter one! :D Enjoyed it? Please leave a review!

Is switching POVs good? Or should I just stick to third person?

Cya Soon! :)
